Scandium Oxide is applied in optical coating, catalyst, electronic ceramics and laser industry. It is also used annually in making high-intensity discharge lamps. A high melting white solid used in high-temperature systems (for its resistance to heat and thermal shock), electronic ceramics, and glass composition. Suitable for vacuum deposition applications. Applications: also called Scandia, is suitable for the high index component of UV, AR and bandpass coatings due to its high index value, transparency, and layer hardness make high damage thresholds have been reported for combinations with silicon dioxide or magnesium fluoride for use in AR. Solubility: Insoluble in water, moderately soluble in strong mineral acids Molecular Formula: Sc2O3 Alfa Chemistry Materials product group: Metal Manufacturer data sheet |
